The ANC special national executive committee meeting has agreed to instruct leaders charged with corruption to stand aside from their positions in the party and government.
His supporters had pushed back ahead of the meeting, calling for an investigation into donations to Ramaphosa’s 2017 campaign for the party presidency.
Ramaphosa said that the NEC meeting had recognised the need for “decisive action within our own ranks” and to restore the “ethos” of the party.within its ranks, saying it had endorsed his letter to ANC members as a “clear articulation” of where it stood on the matter. Those who faced allegations of corruption would have to go before a strengthened integrity commission to give an account of their actions. Should they fail to do so, they would be suspended, he said.
